The short, focused route travels out of Jasper and into the surrounding Rockies, trading town streets for mountain views and open pavement designed to maximize the scenery you see in a single outing.

THE PRACTICALS

Daily departures for singles, couples, and groups

Tours run daily from April through October; you can book as a single passenger, as a couple, or as part of a group of up to ten, and hotel pickup is available on request at booking.

The experience begins in downtown Jasper with a fitting into riding apparel, then you climb into the low-slung sidecar as a trained driver pilots a Harley down mountain roads. In two hours you’ll leave town, stretch into open highway and rocky foothills, and return with the compact, vivid memory of riding in the Canadian Rockies without needing to pilot the machine yourself.
